Question

The table lists recommended amounts of food to order for 25 party guests. Nathan is hosting a graduation party for 40 guests. There will also be guests stopping by for a short time. For ordering​ purposes, they will count each of the 45​ "drop-in" guests as half a guest. How much of each food item should Nathen order?

Table:
Fried Chicken = 24 pieces
Deli Meats= 3 3/4 pounds
Lasagna= 10 3/4 pounds

Answer 1

If u had 28 pieces it would be 2.5 but since u have 24 I THINK it would be 2.3 BUT I MIGHT BE WRONG

Answer 2

The amount of food items required or to be ordered by Nathan is:

Fried Chicken = 60$\frac{1}{2}$  pieces

Deli Meats = 9$\frac{1}{2}$  pounds

Lasagna = 27.1 pounds

The table of order for 25 guests is as given below;

Fried Chicken = 24 pieces

Deli Meats= 3$\frac{3}{4}$ pounds

Lasagna= 10$\frac{3}{4}$ pounds

But,

Nathan's number of expected guest to be hosted = 40.

Given that each of the drop-in guest are counted as half a guest, then we have;

$\frac{45}{2}$ = 22.5

   = 23

The number of drop-in guests expected is approximately 23.

So then,

total number of guests expected by Nathan would be;

    40 + 23  = 63

Since the given table of order was for 25 guests, then;

$\frac{63}{25}$ = 2.52

The rate of increase of each food items is 2.52.

Thus, the amount of each food item to be ordered by Nathaniel is:

Fried Chicken = 24 x 2.52 = 60$\frac{1}{2}$ pieces

Deli Meats = 3$\frac{3}{4}$ x 2.52 = 9$\frac{1}{2}$ pounds

Lasagna = 10$\frac{3}{4}$ x 2.52 = 27.1 pounds
